Please see your two emails today - we are happy to cancel this order for you. Please confirm on email and this will be actioned.

Excellent service and quality material
I have just received my order today that took exactly 7 working days and I was kept informed from Royal Mail. The dress I ordered is for my daughters wedding in June so after reading the bad reviews I was feeling quite apprehensive. Nevertheless, the quality and colour (a green cocktail dress) is lovely and it fits just perfect. I don’t normally like to shop online however, I would definitely order from The Little Black dress again in the future.

Simon. Please don't panic. We are based in Manchester in the UK? You must have received a Portia & Scarlett dress which can be shipped from either Australia or Hong Kong. Please use the UK Royal Mail tracked returns which is free to return your items. Use this link https://www.littleblackdress.co.uk/returns
Other customers | you can check we are a UK company by Googling us or going on the Government website Companies House. We are called Fashion Ventures Ltd.
We also don't appreciate customers leaving bad reviews before they check their facts, symptomatic of the Trust Pilot 'keyboard warrior' culture which is becoming so damaging to British businesses who are struggling enough to recover the COVID pandemic.
Please check your facts before turning to the keyboard folks.
Also, email us at our Manchester office (due to UK Government advice our staff are working hard remotely from homes scattered in areas across the UK to answer your queries)
Email us first on hello@littleblackdress.co.uk
Thank you, and Simon, please send your unwanted items back. It's free and it's easy.

Had a fantastic experience with this company. Ordered 2 dresses that came within 4 days, beautifully packaged & exactly as described. Unfortunately neither suitable so on their way back but going back on the website to order more. Emails go into your junk for some reason - Google sends alerts saying they cannot confirm it's a legit email (This needs addressing Little Black Dress) Would recommend.

My dress came today, exactly on time! (7days). The material is gorgeous and super comfortable. Definitely worth the money! I will definitely be ordering again!

Hi Jo, we can see your order is being sent today via the Royal Mail - please check your spam filter. We have been sending you emails. We updated you yesterday about progress but maybe this has gone to your spam by mistake.
You should receive your dress tomorrow.

Order not received
I am concerned about my order. Placed order online last Saturday 24th April.delivery time stated 3-5 days. I never received an email confirmation & order not arrived, however the money has been taken from my PayPal account. Tried calling the helpline but the number worryingly is no longer in use. I have emailed via contact page so hopefully this will be resolved quickly. I will update my review if that’s the case, but always a concern when phone numbers don’t work and only means of communication is via email. I’ll await to hear from you
Kind regards

Wrong colour - Contact telephone does not work.
29.04.2021 - Update on my review yesterday. LBD re-posted the correct colour dress which arrived today. Thank you for your swift response. Dress looks lovely, yet to try it on!
28.04.2021
I placed an order (2300105552) on 23 April. Arrived today so I was happy with the delivery time. However, the dress received is the wrong colour. The dress looks a decent quality but I'd prefer the correct colour. I have tried to contact you by telephone but your number is out of service, which worries me somewhat. I have emailed you this morning and will allow some time for a response before I decide what my next steps are.
I'd like to give the company the benefit of the doubt and hopefully we can resolve before any further action is taken.

Terrible! The dress I purchased costing £280 looked nothing like the picture! Didn’t fit right and was just horrible! Not great at all.

Excellent experience
I ordered a dress from these guys but then stumbled across really bad reviews, so I was concerned.
The dress arrived 3 days later, good quality material, so relieved.
Will definitely order again!

Dead silence after purchase
I ordered 3 dresses form Little Black Dress which were said to be delivered within 7 days. Only got an email with the order confirmation and nothing more. I tried to contact them via email and Twitter but no response whatsoever. No email, no order update of any kind. First time purchase from them and having read most comments here am worried about my money.
Order no: 2300105220 and 2300105233

No dress received
I ordered a dress from your website and have yet to receive it, I have also not received a confirmation email although you have taken the money out of my account. My order number is 2300104635
When I log into the website to track my order it tells me that I have placed no orders which is incorrect, It has been 2 and a half weeks with no updates on my order so I am requesting a refund or proof that the dress is on the way.

Little black dress...amended review
Amended review... Thankyou to Gayle from LBD who has been efficient and more than helpful in sorting the issue with the import charges, it was a mistake somewhere along the line. I feel sad that I saw the poor reviews, and made assumptions, people rarely take the time to write a good one, so that’s why I have amended this. The dresses that arrived from Portia and Scarlett are beautiful and well made, but regrettably don't fit my daughters shape, so will be returning and hopefully the refund process will run smoothly.

Hi Andrea, we're sorry to hear you have been presented with an international waybill for dresses coming from outside the UK - please send us your invoice asap and we can pay this for you. We will be investigating as you should not have paid import taxes as a UK customer. Email us on hello@littleblackdress.co.uk and we can look into this for you.
Thanks,

No delivery, no contact, no idea if they really exist!
Ordered 2 dresses with delivery quoted 2 - 7 days. Nearly 3 weeks later still no sign. Phone number doesn’t work. One email bounced back and the other ignored. No idea whether the dresses will turn up. No idea whether my money is gone forever. Dreadful customer service if this is a real company. Avoid at all costs. 😡
